Located right outside of uptown Charlotte, North Carolina, the Eco Regional Cultural Center’s neighborhood is already home to a number of arts-related and old curated manufacturing facilities (old mills). The Center considers a relationship with the existing Noda area to create an active territory for indoor /outdoor spaces that people can meet, create, and learn about sustainability. The cultural center is part of the Highland Park, where visitors immediately feel a central sense of place created by the open plazas, local retail, public art, and cultural activities that connect neighbors with neighbors and artists with their passions. With flexible outdoor spaces, classrooms, and studio spaces all designed with a careful eye on the preservation of the neighborhood’s unique culture. The center enhances the existing community’s access to the light rail and connects the thousands of new visitors traveling with it to one of Charlotte’s most exciting neighborhoods. A farmer’s market in front of the building and various sunken terraced pits on the site encourage people to spend time outside and experience the building. The building’s atrium encourages a similar public engagement. The atrium is not only part of the building, but is a pathway to a neighboring mill undergoing renovation into a cultural food center. By being both a place for interaction and a practical method for getting to other places, the atrium reflects the attitude of the main street of the nearby neighborhood of Noda..

The Eco-Regional Cultural Center is home to a diverse set of program that includes offices, studio space, classrooms, a small auditorium and a restaurant that has a view to uptown. The variety of program in the building as well as the diverse amount of spatial qualities ensures that the building will be able to outlast its current program and will be flexible to program changes in the future. The open atrium serves to connect the building together and become a place where both occupants of the building and people passing through the sight can intermingle. The pockets of resting space within the atrium provide for places where people circulating through the area can stop and relax and enjoy the shade provided by the overhead louver system.

Carving Out Space to Learn Charlotte Public Library Expanding off previous projects in the semester, the Charlotte Public Library’s design sought out to create a dynamic and passively daylit space where people can read and learn. Carving out the spaces in the building as a concept became a primary method to achieve this goal. This created light cannons at either end of the building, indentions in the walls that created places to read, and a stramp (stair ramp) that connected the top to the ground floor while introducing a handicap accessible method to navigating the building. Additions where made to the building to decrease sun glare and increase diffuse day lighting, such as the solar chimney and the sunscreen.

Filtered Light
With the apatures of the solar chimeny and the back of the book collections not covered with material, light penetrates the space. it is vey effective for the solar chimney, bouncing light off the dominant wall. For the book storage the intensity of light is close to overwelming for the space.
With the apatures covered with material used to diffuse the intensity of the light, it seems ineffective for the solar chimney, where not enough light is getting into the space. For the book collections, it seemed effective in breaking up the harsh direct light that was entering the space.

Located on UNC Charlotte’s campus, the Coffee Pavilion is a model for passive sustainable strategies. The project strives to achieve sustainable practices through simple design decisions. The angle of the roof provides for the pavilion’s dominant strategy for passively day lighting the interior space. The angle lets in northern light, while reducing the amount of light that enters the building in summer afternoons. Concrete flooring creates a building heat sync that passively heats the building during the winter, while the solar chimney ventilates the pavilion during the summer. Bathrooms where placed to minimalize the amount of western light that entered the building. During the conception process day lighting models where made to study the solar chimney’s effectiveness in facilitating daylight to enter the pavilion. Several iterations where tested until even natural light filled the interior while at the same time minimalizing glare.

Tanner Glackin (3rd Year, Professor David Thaddeus)
Shadow Box Growing Up As I was preparing the idea of this project, I was also preparing for my brother to be married the same semester. This was also the same time my family decided to move out our childhood home, the house that held all our cherished family memories. The Shadow Box project provided for the perfect opportunity to create a personalized and hand made wedding gift for my brother and his soon to be wife. I decided to make them a table since they were soon to be moving into their new home. The top of the table is made of wood from our sand box that we played in as kids. The base is made of wood from our old swing set. The table became a physical manifestation of the old adolescent memories we shared that shaped our future as adults. The table not only holds symbolism connected to our childhood, but also holds a religious connotation that reflects our family’s shared deep beliefs.

Tanner Glackin (3rd Year, Professor Peter Wong)
Finding the Voids Program Mapping and Distortion “Finding the Voids” became largely an expansion from the idea of the steel warehouse earlier in the semester. A free plan was derived from mapping the program throughout a rectangular box scaled based off the square footage requirements of the warehouse. Networks based off program were drawn and structural grids of the columnar and louver system were overlaid on the box. Programmatic spaces were then derived by drawing contours through the overlays. The spaces exist as pavilions cut out of a dense fabric of shelving underneath a flying carpet roof and formed to create suggested relationships between other programs.

Steel Warehouse Open Web Joist SECTION A 1/4” - 1’ 0 “
The cheap and repetitive quality of the open web joist structural system became the drive for the concept of the steel warehouse. The open web joists populated the building by becoming a dense fabric of shelving. This allowed the open web to be both the vertical and horizontal aspect of the structural system. To create spaces that can accomodate people in the building, spaces were carved out of the dense network of shelving. By doing this, these “people spaces” became experiential spaces, fracturing light as it moves through the shelving system to the voided space. The central void became regularized to accommodate a variety of programs, while the entrances composed of triangular based forms for a more dynamic experience of circulation.

Tanner Glackin (studio group project)
Disjunction in Salon Tschumi Intervention This project was a studio project in which each studio designed an intervention to be placed within the salon of Storrs architectural academic building. Being head of the design and construction of the slide, I learned the value of teamwork and how to delegate responsibilities. The slide acted as a playful way of circulating down the stairs and added disjunction through the space, which is primarily an academic space. Connecting the brackets on the underside of slide to the stair’s steel handrails provided for the slide’s primary structure. Cutting a single sono tube and using the other half of the tube to extend the full length of the slide created the form of the side. By creating a scrap model mock up of the structure we were able to calculate all the measurements for cuts and templates to create the slide’s various pieces structural elements.

Disorientation and Assimilation Jewish Refugee Museum Extension The project focuses on reflecting the experience of the Jewish refugees entering into China and fleeing from persecution in the late 1930’s and early 1940’s. The concept of the buildings design focuses on translating the emotional experience and process of the refugees through the circulation of the building. From the start the form is chaotic, with multiple pieces intersecting each other. As visitors proceed through the building, the parasitic form becomes less chaotic, simpler and more complete. This reflects upon the jewish refugee’s feeling of disorientation and emotional despair when first arriving to Shanghai until their eventual settlement and assimilation. The intersecting planes are used to create a variety of experiences and spatial conditions as one moves through the building.

Architecture as Still Life Chicago Makerspace The objective of the project was to use methods of still life in the respect to the building’s formal organization to respond to both the site and program of the building by using Morandi’s diagraming method of reductive drawing. The use of still life painting drove the buildings fundamental spatial and formal organization. Foreground, middle ground and background were the elements of still life used to determine the building’s organization. These elements also dictated the treatment of the buildings facade. Contours where drawn during the diagrammatic process based off the building’s formal composition in space. The diagrams then led to the determination on whether a building face was glazed, cladded with a perforated screen, or covered by a green wall. These different tactile surfaces in drawing were referred to as “positive and negative” spaces.
